Welcome to our School Lunch Menu

Lunch Menu

We are delighted to share our weekly lunch menu with you. At St Mary's, each meal has been carefully designed by our Kitchen Manager-Lisa, to provide your children with a two course, nutritious and appealing meal, at a low price of £2.50, payable through ParentPay. Our menu features a variety of healthy options, including local free range eggs, Marine Conservation Society sustainable fish, Dolphin Friendly tuna and ingredients which meet The Red Tractor Farm and Food Assurance Standards. All of our food is prepared on site, with your child's health and energy needs in mind. We cater to various dietary requirements to ensure that every child enjoys a balanced and delicious meal. We prioritise quality and taste to help create positive eating habits and a love for a variety of flavours among our students.
There is no pre-booking with lunches, teachers will go through the menu each morning at registration to ascertain what the children would like for lunch that day, or if they are having a home packed lunch, the kitchen will then prepare the meals ready for lunchtime.  

Our School Menu is on a 3 week cycle, meeting all Government-legislated dietary requirements for schools.

Universal Free School Meals for KS1

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school dinner every day, under Government Legislation. However, if you are in receipt of certain benefits, we ask that you complete a Free School Meal application form as this will identify your child as a Pupil Premium recipient. Our school receives additional funding for every child identified as Pupil Premium which is used to further the learning experience of these children. Click Here to see if you are eligible.
